So it could be in use for the Halloween Specials, Santa Specials, Mince Pie Specials and the New Year Gala. The EOR What's Running webpage currently lists two steam locos as TBA. The first one, GWR pannier tank 6430 from Llangollen Railway, arrived yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul.Uni Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) In off topic-ish news, the Vintage Trains ticket site has trains listed until mid August. Although the tours haven't been officially announced, I suspect the Tyseley pair of Pannier Tanks (L94 & 9600) are likely to pull the East Midlands Rambler on 13 May and the Melton Rambler, Harringworth Roast Lunch & Harringworth Afternoon Tea trains on 12 August. http://www.vintagetrainsonline.com/SelectDateTime Edited January 14, 2017 by Paul.Uni Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul.Uni Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 20227 is getting a repaint to match 20142. After being announced a year ago the repaint of 20227 is finally about to start. The London Transport Large Roundel red and white livery has been carried by the loco since 2013 when it was repainted for 'Steam on the Met' was to be replaced by Rail Blue last year for its duties at the North Norfolk, but with its appearance planned for the forthcoming London transport Tour planned for 30th April - Date to be confirmed, something different will now take place. The loco started its journey by road to Bodens for delivery tomorrow, to have its slightly tired paint replaced with London Transport Lined Red as 20142, see below in readiness for the Tour, there is also speculation of a renaming - but you'll have to wait until the day to see.
